Kitchen utensil starter set

For the girl who is off to college, gift her with a kitchen utensil set for her dorm room or apartment. Amazon has hundreds of these sets available, with some of them including the following: slotted turner and spoon, basting spoon, tongs, measuring spoons and cups, a can opener, flat grater, peeler, whisk, corkscrew, kitchen shears (scissors), vegetable peeler, cheese grater and/or slicer, small cutting board, and many other accessories that are essential in a kitchen just starting out.

Personalized/engravable photo frame

Opt for a heavy frame in sterling silver and have their name or initials engraved on it for a special 18th birthday gift idea. Again, Amazon has an amazing selection of picture frames that can be personalized.

Engraved  key chain

Most 18-year-olds are eager to start their new life, so gift them with an elegant engraved key chain to hold their dorm and car keys. Present in a pretty box for an elegant birthday present.  The one featured on the left is quite popular.

Fun Gifts for Women

Personalized Candle

For a pretty, yet unusual 18th birthday gift, buy her a beautiful customized birthday candle. These can come in an array of sizes, scents and styles. Pick one that is either her favorite color or scent, then present in a deep gift box tied with a gold or silver ribbon.

Gift card to day spa

Perfect for the birthday girl who loves to be pampered, opt for a day spa near to her and maybe include a restaurant gift card so she dine out after her spa treatment.

Jewelry

Jewelry can be fun, if you choose the right piece! For the studious birthday girl, select a simply strand of pearls; for the party girl, choose a fun trendy piece such as a feather or horseshoe; and for just about any women, pick out a pretty diamond or cubic zirconia solitaire pendant.

Gifts for Men

Gadgets

For the 18th birthday boy who loves technology, choose a gadget such as an iPod, MP3 player, a Kindle e-reader, Roku® streaming television box, or any of the newest gadgets that are available today.

Game or Concert Tickets

Whether he’s into sports or music, gifting him with a concert or sports tickets will leave him happy and looking forward to the event. 

Engraved key chain

This was also mentioned above for a woman turning 18, but guys love their cars just as much, or more, than their female counterpart. Try sterling silver or a favorite sports team logo for one of the best 18th birthday gift ideas.
